| (1) my heater in my 2000 chrysler 300m comes on every 8 seconds automatically. i took it to a mechanic and after two days, he advised that he cannot fix the problem. what he thought would be the appropriate part -- wasn't. (2) my dashboard on my 2000 chrysler 300m has two long cracks in it. they are approximately 10 (or more) long. i am afraid that they may affect the deployment of the airbags, should they be needed. i believe this could be a safety hazard. *jb | |||

| The dashboard cover is cracking in two places which are directly above the drivers side air bag. the air bag appears to be expanding underneath the dash cover. the air bag may not properly deploy if there is a collison. auto is out of warranty and chrysler has refused to inspect or repair this situation although there was a recall for the same vehicle with slightly different assembly dates. chyrsler owner's manual warns against any repairs to the air bag except by their authorized dealers. i have seen this condition in the same model and year of manufacture, and there are several reports in the nhtsa data base. *ak | |||
